In the vain hope for rationality, reason and logic in politics. In the dream that mere citizens can see far better than the elected or appointed.

Hmmmm... Pat Robertson and Ray Nagin believe in the same God?

First Pat Robertson suggests that God may have given Israeli PM Sharon a stroke for giving away Gaza to the Palestinians and everyone denounces Robertson for even suggesting such a possibility. Now New Orleans mayor Nagin claims that God is upset with America and punishes America with Hurricane Katrina.

Someone tell me what the objection is over Robertson again? Past history or the issue itself? Is God truly capable of punishing individuals in the 21st century? Or does he reserve that for nations only? Can he do one but not the other? Or neither? Is Robertson possibly correct? What about Nagin? Are only one but not the other over the line? You tell me - or better yet, be intellectually honest, you tell yourself first.
